Ok you have rural area and 50 people living there so no grocery store there. But how come "few restaurants" are there?
The USDA defines what's considered a food desert and which areas will be helped by this initiative: To qualify as a ?low-access community,? at least 500 people and/or at least 33 percent of the census tract's population must reside more than one mile from a supermarket or large grocery store
